The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases again reached the highest level (1078) yesterday. The average number of confirmed cases per day during the last week is 833, which already corresponds to the three-stage standard (800-1000) set by the quarantine authorities. Since day 8 it has risen to stage 2.5, but despite the increase in the number of confirmed cases, it is not necessary to re-quarantine. It is also a way to appeal directly to President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun about the urgency of the three-step update.
Instead of seeing the “end of the tunnel,” which President Moon mentioned just a week ago, you are now in the middle of a tunnel that is hard to predict. Despite the severe cold that favors the spread of the virus, the Korean people, who have not obtained a cure or vaccine, are experiencing the worst winter without properly preparing for winter.
However, the government, which must make a quick decision, is still conducting an internal review only. Quarantine authorities said: “We are monitoring the situation as we internally review the three-level update. The third stage is such a big social change, which is why we are preparing step by step. “However, the current standard of the distance stage is criticized for being arbitrary and has many loopholes. Some point out that countermeasures for a situation are lacking. blocking beyond the third stage.
Earlier, Governor Lee Jae-myeong suggested that Gyeonggi-do would move to the third stage, but the government rejected the discretion of local governments. When the number of confirmed cases declines, the government hastily facilitated the distancing steps, and when it was urgently needed, the government repeatedly hesitated and misjudged and put it into practice.
In fact, on October 12, although the requirement to smooth the first stage (less than 50 confirmed cases per day, etc.) was not met, it rushed to smooth the spread and the spread could not be suppressed. Even as the number of infected people increased last month, it was aesthetically pleasing to escalate, resulting in the current third pandemic.
Of course, it is not that we cannot understand the impact on the economy as a whole if we move to the third stage. But for now, I think putting the distance to three steps immediately and stopping the crown first will help not only people’s health but ultimately the economy. People who suffered from corona all year long have now become ‘Dr. Crown’. In a survey on the JoongAng Ilbo website, 81% of respondents (62% immediately, 19% if it goes out around 1000 for a few days) said it should be raised to the third stage. Maintenance level 2.5 was only 19%.
Of course, the scientific quarantine cannot be decided by public opinion polls. Still, it appears that he is willing to endure the pain of strong short-term measures rather than suffer from the coronavirus. We must not ignore the voices of desperate people.
